'Blazing Forest Trails' Will Get Wide Interest Tell your advertiser you saw It in the Gazette-Times. By WES SHERMAN "If he could cooperate with a cattleman-banker and with a horseman buckaroo rancher philosopher, why couldn't he help a fire fighting forester with forty years of 'rangerln'." So states Charles D. Simpson, who looks back on a lifetime oh 'dirt forester' and adminis trator, In telling how he carne to call upon E. R. Jackman to help him write his book, "Blaz ing Forest Trails." Simpson had read "Gold and Coltlct Country" by Herman Oli ver with Jaekman collaborating, and "The Oregon Desert" by Jackman nnd Reuh Long. That Jackman found Simp son's offer an Inviting one is evident In the finished book, "Blazing Forest Trails," that was published and went on sale Fri day. Like 'The Oregon Desert," the new book Is published by The ( axton Printers of Caldwell, Idaho, and Is Illustrated with 151 fine photographs. The 38-1-page book Is printed on the same type of heavy high-quality paper used on 'The Oregon Desert" and, although featur ing a different natural resource, It will have similar appeal to readers who love the Northwest. Many will want It In their li braries and It will also find considerable demand as a gift Item. "Blazing Forest Trails" Is now on sale in lleppner at Murrays Rexull Drug. From the vost experience of a colorful career In U. S. For est Service work. Author Simp son brings the reader abundant Information about the forests, and because his work goes back to the early days of the Forest Service, he can bring to mind on anecdote to Illustrate virtu ally every point. Those living In the northwest corner of the nation well know how their lives are affected by the forests, whether they use them for a livelihood, for recre ation, or for other purposes. Ranchers arc familiar with their use for range, and the book has an Interesting chapter on this "On the Summer Range." How the multiple use concept of National Forests developed out of natural needs Is pointed out by Simpson. ". . .pioneem on the Old Ore gon Trail, the early-day forest rangers and other mountain travelers, looked for dally "wood, water and hoss feed','1 writes Simpson. "Recreation was rep resented usually by rest follow ing a strenuous day. Wildlife sometimes contributed a skillet of wild meat. Multiple use Is therefore not new. It Is merely more stylish In a new suit of clothes." Five major resources of na tional forests thus, as symbol ized by the "Multiple Use Tree," are water, wood, forage, recrea tion and wildlife. One of the most fascinating chaptera of the book is entit led. "A Bet with Uncle Sam." This tells of the early day homesteadlng in the forests, go ing into the bitter struggles that some went through to "prove up" and get patents on their homesteads. While much of the book is concerned with three national forests In Idaho Car ibou, Lolo and Coeur d'Alene It also centers around the Whit man Notional Forest in Oregon. Some of the places mentioned and some of the early struggles of homesteaders will strike chords with local people who are familiar with these places. In a few instances, some of the family names mentioned will be recognized by Morrow coun ty readers. There Is action and drama in the book in such chapters as SATURDAY.

THIS MESSAGE SPONSORED AS A PUBLIC SERVICE BY BANK of EASTERN OREGON IONE BRANCH Member, Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. those dealing with forest fires. Some of the big ones are des cribed. Simpson, who at various times wos supervisor at each of the four national forests mentioned above, writes of the big Tilla mook fire and point out that since he never served in that part of Oregon his only contact with It "consisted In smelling and trying to penetrate the smoke at a distance of more than four hundred miles." Al though not the greatest In ac reage, the Tillamook fire of 1933 killed or consumed more tim ber than any fire In known United States history. It cover ed a third of a million acres, the book points out, and 87 per cent of the acreage was burn ed during one 21-hour period. There Is keen Interest for the hunter, the fisherman, and the camera fan In such chapters as "Wild Uw rfc of the Woods," deal ing with wildlife. Even those who feel they have an Intimate knowledge of forests will discover new and helpful tips out of Simpson's experience. In a chapter on "Survival" he writes, "We are talking here about survival when one be comes lost In the forest. But ac tually it's better not to get lost In the first place. As In the sage advice In the old French Canadian poem, " 'You can't get drown on Lae St. Pierre " 'So long you stay on shore.' " But Simpson lists 12 common articles that one should carry when he goes Into the woods. There are many now dead who would be alive today If they had read his book and heeded this advice. "Fun on the Forests" is a chapter that brings out the val ue for recreation and has more helpful hints for those who would use them for fun. Jackman, who is known by many in this area because of his work for years with the Ore gon State Extension Service, contributes chapters on 'Trees and Towns" and "Trees and Humans" to show the import ance of the forests as influenc es on communities and men. "Burros, Buckboards, Bedrolls and Beans" is what might be called a bonus chapter in "Blaz ing Forest Trails." It is a col lection of anecdotes, mostly amusing, that the author re counts from his "forty years of rangerln' ". One advantage of a book like this Is that one doesn't have to read all the way through at one sitting to retain the con nective Interest. A chapter, or even a single anecdote, can be satisfying in Itself and he can go back to it at ensuing times for more enjoyable reading. Jackman quotes Bliss Carman, a Canadian poet, on how the woods brought reverent moods: 'There is virtue in the open; there is healing out of doors; 'The Great Physician makes his rounds along the forest floors." Many who read "Blazing For est Trails" will find that it touches this mood in them selves, and those who cherish the feeling will want to have the book to keep. Thompson Chosen For Institute Study in Physics Gary Thompson, teacher of physics and chemistry at llepp ner High school, has been in vited to participate in a sum mer institute which will be con ducted for eight weeks from June 19 to August 11 by the Physics department of the Uni versity of Washington with aid of a grant from the National Science Foundation. "I am very lucky to be Invlt ed," he told the Gazette-Times. The institute is limited to 50 teachers from all over the U. S. and usually requires applicants to have three years teaching ex perience. Eleven units of gradu ate study will be earned by par ticipants in the course designed to increase teachers' skill in teaching the new course of PS.SC high school physics. PSSC (Physical Science Study Committee) Physics was devel oped in 1957 when some 60 physicists, teachers, apparatus designers, writers, artists, and other specialists pooled their knowledge and experience to produce a pilot model of the PSSC physics course. The proj ect was started with a grant from the National Science Foun dation and the main collaborat ors were professors of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Since Its beginning in 1957, the PSSC course has been wide ly adopted in the United States and has undergone revisions and modifications constantly. The PSSC course consists of four closely related parts with each relying heavily on laboratory work and the discovery ap proach to learning. Thompson has been Introduc ing elements of the PSSC course this year at Heppner High school and plans to return next year to complete the transition. Jim Marvin, teacher this year at lone High school, will also be a student at the institute. HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES, Thursday. April 20, 1967 WANT TO SELL SOMETHING? USE A GAZETTE-TIMES WANT AD!
